We don't 'do' cookies in our house. We are Australian so we have biscuits. Chocolate chip biscuits. Anzac biscuits. Raisin and oatmeal biscuits. All kinds of biscuits, but no cookies. When I finally sat down to catch up on my February Sew Kitschy block I was reminded that Kristy designed February's block as a cookie jar. Despite singing the song 'Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar' as a child with great gusto (my mum is Canadian!), I wouldn't be true to my Australian heritage if I made a cookie jar. So a biscuit jar it had to be!
I was pretty pleased with my free motion 'writing'. Even though I left the white bobbin thread in so that it gave the writing a speckled look.
I like it! I'll like it even more when I wash off the blue disappearing ink!!
Pretty! I need to get busy on mine.
